Brasas

“is a blend made for the fire and the food,” describes consulting winemaker Mia Klein. Youthful, bright and juicy, with a rich concentration of tannins, this limited-production wine features Cabernet from our topmost elevation, and some Malbec in homage to the great wines of Argentina. Wines of this style are sought after by the gauchos (the riders of the Argentine grasslands) to strike a harmony with grilled steaks and Asados (Argentine barbecues).

The structure and seemingly interminable finish of this wine slices down the palate like a liquid Facón, cutting through thick steaks with its well honed tannin edge. Aromas of soft leather, figs, and warm gingerbread round out this formidable wine.

The intended style for Brasas is bold, fresh fruit with long firm tannins that will hold up to the fire and the food of any large BBQ. In 2013, Brasas features vibrant aromas of blackberry with a foundation of firm red clay. The tannins are powerful yet well polished, with a smooth refreshing finish.

The soulmate of the 2012 Brasas Cabernet Sauvignon blend is the grill itself. Its aromas of fresh pink peppercorns and mulberries combine beautifully with a balance of savory spice and ripe fresh fruit.

This cool vintage features a distinct harmony of fruit and wood. The interlaced aromas of fresh blackberries, bramble and forest floor invite the mind to hike along a trail that leads the taster to a precise, focused finish.
